I love her because she's opmisitic, funny, and her rage about stolen food reminds me of me when my grandpa steals some of my food at dinner time and I get angry. 8D But's she a really great character, and I like her quite a bit. I thought she had good character development, and I liked the fact she had no clue what to do at the start. I'd have trouble deciding too.

Why do you love May?
I love May because I loved her interactions with her pokemon (Manaphy and May were just cuteee!) and with other characters. I have a very similar personality to her which makes me like her even more -her pokemon are cute and her contests are amazing!

I made a little video about her using the song born this way by lady gaga as another little fan made think and I'm going to make some banners!

I can't wait to get more members for this club!

Weird coincidence: I just restarted my Ruby game yesterday - picked the girl and named her May. I chose Torchic and caught a Skitty so far, and so I'm considering a May-only Pokemon run. Next thing you know, I found this club o.o

Why do you love May?
I like all the female companions in the anime and May is my third favourite. Hmm, it's hard to narrow down the reasons why, but here goes: I love her name, her hair, her personality, the fact that she wears two of my fave colours: red and green, her facial expressions, her different outfits (*squeals* I just loved what she wore in the Lucario movie), her Pokemon, her compassion for her Pokemon, her voice, umm, too many reasons.

On a semi-related note: I couldn't give a toss about contests until May (and Dawn) got me interested in them, but only in the anime, mind you. She's clearly a much stronger co-ordinator than Dawn, so I loved that she came to Sinnoh to teach her some tricks. As much as I like Dawn and the rest of the girls, I really liked May's presence in the show and I kind of miss her.

I'm attempting to draw a picture of May, so if anyone is interested, I will post the finished result here.

im joining!
may started off as a pokemon hater, but after meeting ash it just goes to show how much she matures (or "blossoms") like a beautiful May flower
she is also an amazng co-ordinator
lets hope she returns in the future anime to see Ash.....again

Welcome new members! I'll add your names to the list. Yep, no form is required to sign up as long as you give a reason why you want to join. (but it's pretty obvious why you want to join) XD

@Dawn; That video is great! May does have a lot of confidence which makes the video perfect, in a way. I've added it to the list of member works. :3 I hope to see more members too since I'm sure there's plenty of members who like May around here.

@meowth_city; Green! <3 Yeah the dress costume was really amazing. If only we got to see her wear that more in the movie. I can't wait to see your drawing too!

@*futachimaru*; We can only hope she returns again... it would be really appreciated. =] You can make a banner and anything else you want. All is welcome!

Thank you very much! I thought it suited her too!

I know it's not aimed at me but I loved that dress too! It would have been cute to see her wear it more often. I also noticed her wearing that dress in your signature!

may + manaphy = THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE
May has changed in a good way with a more positive view and more mature
in terms of prettiness, glacelnis my favourite, but snorlax was funny

I know it's not aimed at me but I loved that dress too! It would have been cute to see her wear it more often. I also noticed her wearing that dress in your signature!

Yay, more topics!What did you think of May when she first came?
I thought, "Yay a new character! It's too bad she's replacing Misty but she looks really cute and will probably be Ash's new rival?" Somewhere along those lines were my thoughts.Has May changed through out her pokemon journey, if so do you think it was a good change?
She definitely changed, as futachimaru mentioned before. She used to not be comfortable near a lot of Pokémon but now she has her own team and warmed up to a lot of Pokémon. It's a good change and well although I feel her adventure in Kanto was rushed, I'm glad she's working on inding her coordinating style.What's your favourite of May's Pokemon?
Skitty! Beautifly and Glaceon come second.Would you like May and the Manaphy she bonded with to meet again?
It would be a very tearful reunion but sure! They did have such an adorable relationship. ;;

Oh wow, I didn't even noticed Sweet May's signature before. That's a really pretty fanart of May. Come to think of it, I own a very similar cardigan to that one except it has roses in place of where the bows are. I like May's fashion sense - she's the perfect inbetween to Misty's tomboy style and Dawn's girly outfits.

What did you think of May when she first came?
Well, I first discovered her character in the games, Ruby and Sapphire, and I thought she was cute. As for the anime, I didn't really mind her replacing Misty despite her being my favourite character at the time. I liked May from the first episode, as she just seemed like an interesting character.

Has May changed through out her pokemon journey, if so do you think it was a good change?
Of course, she has and yes. When she first started off, she didn't even want to be a trainer, but now she's blossomed into a mature co-ordinator. In fact, I think she has grown more then most characters on the show.

What's your favourite of May's Pokemon?
Skitty. I'm a Meowth person, what did you except?

Would you like May and the Manaphy she bonded with to meet again?
Yes. May and Manaphy sound good together. Speaking of which...

....I might actually join this (i mean i'm still not the BIGGEST fan of May but I admire her seemingly happy/easy going sort of additude i'm apperently seeing so far. she isn't as 'bad' as I remember her being 0.o; )

What did you think of May when she first came?
I thought she was pretty XD I liked her pirate bandana too.

Has May changed through out her pokemon journey, if so do you think it was a good change?
I've only started watching advanced again (through Boomerang Re-runs). I haven't gotten that far. But, she seem's sweet enouth early on, incecurities aside.

What's your favourite of May's Pokemon?
Skitty, it's so cute. :3 (though, she really seem's close to beautifly and it helped her grow to really love pokemon so i like her(?) too)

Would you like May and the Manaphy she bonded with to meet again?
I *KNOW* I liked her in that movie^^ May seemed actually very good with Manafy, from what I can remember. Yes they should be together again! x3;

I guess I am a fan of her now, kinda. *shifty eyes* lol She's cute. XD But there's probably still more I have yet to see.

Like in the episode "Tree's a Croud". Max tell's her how he's all worried about Ash...but May totally shrug's it off with a cute smile/breaf comment to Max to 'relax' and continue's her dinner like everything's gonna be alright in the end. XD

That was one of the awesomest things in that entire episode.

But, i'll admit, she is kind of humoress at times from what I can recall. XD

Yes. May and Manaphy sound good together. Speaking of which...

Spoiler:- cute:

Now that all this talk about my sig is going on, I noticed May's hairstyle is different in the art than her actual hair. I guess it would've been more amazing if she changed her hair style but the bow she wears is big and adorable. X3 Here's the actual artwork for you guys.
By an artist named michikusa, whose site is dead now. But I'm sure a lot of you have seen that art style before so other images michikusa has done are no stranger to you. ^_^

Also, the May and Manaphy gif is the cutest thing ever. *__*

You don't HAVE to be a diehard fan to join. Just as long as you appreciate her and her past naive behavior and her food addiction, all is swell~

She's pretty funny in some episodes outside that, too...like when she battle's for the Norman Fanatics in this one season 7 episode. XD "I'M WINNING I'M WINNING!!!!" I felt like crying over how funny she was there. XD Her naivity can quite easily be a charm.

Joining this club for sure!)Why do you love May?
I love her, because she is very beautiful and has great character, like me She is cute, very kind and caring(we`ve seen that in Manaphy movie and the way she cares for Max), she is also cool and can hold her own in contests. Well, there are more things why I love her and I think she is the best out of pokegirlsWhat did you think of May when she first came?
I thought that what a stupid girl, she doesn`t like pokemon and WTF, return Misty!)Has May changed through out her pokemon journey, if so do you think it was a good change?
She sure did, and that was a good change, she became more mature and developped a great characterWhat's your favourite of May's Pokemon?
I like her Blaziken and liked Bulbasaur and Squirtle, but they evolved(don`t know why to evolve pokemon for a cameo). I like her Beautifly as well. Would you like May and the Manaphy she bonded with to meet again?
They were great together. It was very sad when Manaphy left. I would like them to meet again

Why do you love May?
I like her various reasons. Her personality reminded me of mine. I liked how she overcame her fear of Pokemon as her journey progressed. Her love for food is funny and interesting(in a good way). I love all her contest performances and they were pretty much the reason why I enjoyed watching the AG arc overall. She is very caring and tends to have motherly nature at times.

What did you think of May when she first came?
I thought she was just going to be a Misty replacement, but after actually seeing her, I started to like her more than Misty. So far, May has been my favorite girl companion in the entire Pokemon series. I was so excited when I heard she was coming back for a couple of episodes in DP.

Has May changed through out her pokemon journey, if so do you think it was a good change?
She definitely changed a lot. She went from a girl who seemed to detest Pokemon, to a girl that just loves them and cares for them. Her contest performances have changed as well. She takes in every word of advice that Drew, Ash, and even Harley gives her. Although she has faced obstacles during her whole contest journey, she learns from her mistakes and manages to fix it later on. She even managed to form her own style, that was hers alone. She definitely showed how much she has improved in DP. Her performances were just off the charts for me and made me be very impressed. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I was so devastated when she lost. D:

What's your favourite of May's Pokemon?
Gahhh! Such a hard decision! I love all of them and it's hard to have a favorite. I love Blaziken, Glaceon, and Beautifly the most though. Her baby Squirtle was just so adorable too. xD

Would you like May and the Manaphy she bonded with to meet again?
Of course I would! They were just so amazing together during that movie. Their development was well made, and I cried when they had to go their own way. I CRIED!! *sniff*

I love all the banners. :3
You made a beautiful video Dawn and Piplup! <3 x3

What did you think of May when she first came?
I'm going to be honest. I absolutely hated her and thought she was such an annoying newbie who hated Pokemon and Mudkips. I did think she looked nice though. But nearer the end of the episode when she was with her Torchic I thought 'she might be nice later'. I guess I was right! :P

Has May changed through out her pokemon journey, if so do you think it was a good change?
Definitely, although I hated her at the beginning, I really began to like her later on!

What's your favourite of May's Pokemon?
Manaphy if that counts xD. Then Skitty. Then Beautifly. Then Eevee. Then Glaceon (the pokemon change when they evolve!). Then Torchic. -May had some awesome pokemon!

Would you like May and the Manaphy she bonded with to meet again?
Definitely, I could go into a lot of detail but I thought it was adorable and sweet and sad so definitely yes. It's a shame she did not have manaphy when she returned.

You made a beautiful video Dawn and Piplup! <3 x3

Aww thank you very much. I will try to do more.

What evil organization do you picture May to be a part of the most?
I think May is too nice to do that but probably team aqua or magma. I would probabaly go for aqua because may loves the water and the magma outfit (apart from the red bandana) doesn't really suit her. Then again, no evil outfit does.

Oh, and those fan art pictures were adorable!
